I blocked some email domains after the recent bot spam attack on https://mastodon.social. Thanks to @cm_kropot for the detailed incident report!

Mastodon directory is a popularity contest, and mastodon has historically worked hard to try to avoid adding features that promote that sort of thing.

For now at least, it won't be coming to https://rva.party.

Welcome to the party, @midlothian!

Psst! Mastodon admins! You can disable the Joulutorttu emoji from the emoji settings.

Updated to 2.6.5!

8 months of https://rva.party! Let's gooooo!

In the same vein, please be patient with our Tumblr friends who may not know as much about our practices. Insist on image descriptions and CWs, but be kind and gentle!

Welcome to the party @nicole!

Welcome Tumblr emigrants! You can post all the lewd content you want here! Just familiarize yourself with your instance's rules and please make sure you CW lewd posts and mark sensitive images.

@bgcarlisle @moonspark I used to run a mastodon-janitor service through systemd that ran a bunch of rake tasks daily. Now I'm running these:

tootctl media remove (was mastodon:media:remove_remote)
tootctl accounts cull (was mastodon: maintenance:purge_removed_accounts)

I'm still looking for replacements for mastodon:push: clear, assets:clean, and mastodon:media:remove_silenced.

Updated to 2.6.1!

This party has been going strong for 7 months! Thanks to everyone who makes https://rva.party possible. Cheers!

LB: I'm upgrading to 2.6.1 today and could add all the (newly updated) Mutant Standard emoji to our instance while I'm there. Is that something y'all would be interested in?
